Ferndale Police say they have arrested two suspects in a December shooting at Taft Education Center.

One suspect was released, police say. The other suspect, a 17-year-old Detroit male, is still being held in police custody.

Police believe the teen, whose name has not been released pending further investigation, is the gunman.

As previously reported,
the shooting appeared to be a failed robbery attempt. Police

semi-automatic handgun at his chest and demanded his belongings. The
victim pushed the gun away and was shot in the leg.
